Editing The Cursed AppleGive feedback

The map is divided into three distinct lanes: '''York''' (Yellow Lane), '''Broadway''' (Blue Lane) and '''Park''' (Green Lane), also referred to as '''Greenwich'''. Outside of these lanes are a series of tunnels, alleyways, and buildings that sometimes contain [[Golden Statue]]s, crates, and [[Neutral]]s. In each lane, a [[Ziplines|Zipline]] extends from both bases directly overhead with each having the color of the corresponding lane. [[The Hidden King|The Hidden King's]] side of the map has mostly worn down red brick buildings, while [[The Archmother|the Archmother's]] side has mostly upper class white brick buildings.

Throughout the map, players can find destructible Boxes and Golden Statues. Boxes have a 60% chance to drop [[souls]] upon being destroyed, and Golden Statues have a 50% chance to drop permanent stat bonuses, such as [[Spirit Power]] or [[Weapon Damage]]. They spawn 3 minutes into the game (except mid-boxes, see [[The Cursed Apple#10:00|Map Timings and Events : 10min]]) and will respawn 3 minutes after being destroyed.

Outside of the lanes is an area of the map called the jungle, which is home to the [[Neutral]] camps. Neutrals are alien-like entities that appear in groups and will attack when provoked. They come in three different sizes: small, medium and large, and drop more souls the larger they are. Being neutral units, both teams can attack the same neutral camps, and they will be aggressive to their attackers no matter which team they are on.

 

 

At the rear of each team's base sits the Respawn Room, where heroes [[Death|respawn]] after being killed. It also houses the team's [[The Curiosity Shop|Curiosity Shop]] and a [[Souls#Soul Well|Soul Well]], which activates 3 minutes into the match. While inside the room, allied heroes restore {{DataProp|Convar|citadel_player_regen_zone_bonus_pct}}% of their maximum [[Health|health]] plus {{DataProp|Convar|citadel_player_regen_zone_bonus_base}} health each second. Enemy heroes who enter are targeted by four turrets positioned around the room.

 

In the very middle of the map, in the underground sewer, is a second major objective known as the [[Mid-Boss]]. It is a large alien creature similar to the Neutrals, possessing a very large health pool, a constantly regenerating shield and a highly dangerous laser beam. After being slain, it will spawn a [[Rejuvenator]] Crystal that can be claimed by either team. The claimer's team will be bestowed with the Rejuvenation Credit buff, granting them special effects.

 

 

 

Some parts of the map have deadzones where a lightning tower appears to reach but does not, and other parts have cosmetic lightning towers that cannot hurt players. Other places, such as the rooftops next to the [[Guardian]]s in blue lane, have hidden lightning towers embedded in the walls. Some lightning towers are missing visual effects but are still active. Lightning towers are not perfectly symmetrical across the map. Lightning towers are often accompanied by other tall metal structures and metal spikes around the rims of rooftops.

* '''Easy [[Neutral]] camps'''

** '''Respawn Time:''' {{#expr:floor({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_weak|SpawnInterval}}/60)}}:{{#ifexpr:({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_weak|SpawnInterval}} mod 60) < 10|0}}{{#expr:{{NpcData|neutral_trooper_weak|SpawnInterval}} mod 60}} minutes after all Neutrals in camp are defeated.

*** Neutrals also drop Unsecured Souls.

* '''Medium [[Neutral]] Camps'''

** '''Respawn Time:''' {{#expr:floor({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_normal|SpawnInterval}}/60)}}:{{#ifexpr:({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_normal|SpawnInterval}} mod 60) < 10|0}}{{#expr:{{NpcData|neutral_trooper_normal|SpawnInterval}} mod 60}} minutes after all Neutrals in camp are defeated.

* '''Hard [[Neutral]] Camps'''

** '''Respawn Time:''' {{#expr:floor({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_strong|SpawnInterval}}/60)}}:{{#ifexpr:({{NpcData|neutral_trooper_strong|SpawnInterval}} mod 60) < 10|0}}{{#expr:{{NpcData|neutral_trooper_strong|SpawnInterval}} mod 60}} minutes after all Neutrals in camp are defeated.

** '''Machine Effect:''' Has {{NpcData|neutral_sinners_sacrifice|MaxHealth}} health and can only be damaged with melee attacks. Light melee attacks deal 50 points of damage and heavy melee attacks deal 100 (Light melee deal 100 damage on the final hit). Each hit will deal {{NpcData|neutral_sinners_sacrifice|RetaliateDamage}} points of damage to the attacker, but grant some amount of Souls. Once the machine takes 400 damage, a looping timing window starts, during which a well-timed melee attack will dispense one or more Golden Statue buffs. If destroyed with a light melee, it will dispense one buff; if destroyed with a heavy melee, it will dispense four buffs.

* '''[[Guardians]]''' lose their last damage resistance and at -50% become as vulnerable as they can be.
